Learning German (Belajar Bahasa Jerman)

As part of my preparation to study in Germany, I now spend some times to learn the language. Fortunately, there are many 'free online German courses' on internet that one can easily take. When I arrived at the Chapter 7th which discusses 'formation of plural in German' something, written by the teacher, stroke my laughter nerve. I found it's quite funny that he/she wrote this :

"In most languages it is quite easy to form a plural. In German there are no such clear rules. The Germans were capable of creating something that even they themselves are confused about often enough. The only excuse is that the German language is based on historical facts and not on someone's invention"

Why did they make the German language so complicated and hard to understand? Or, perhaps I am too old to start such a language :)
